Are we sure that Klaue's hairpiece is the Bruce Wayne one? It wasn't so clear to me from the released set pics. It does look that way, but I was actually hoping it was a new hairpiece.

I would say it would be printed. And although I love the Nomad look, we definitely missed out on an opportunity to get a new Cap helmet -- but there is always Avengers 4!! I'd argue the Quinjet is the Millennium Falcon of the MCU.

Thanks for the clarification!

I've watched it like 57 times.

Thanks for the clarification! It's all good

Woah, woah. Let's hold up a minute. I want to set the record straight on a couple of things because there has been a lot of information flying around the past week, 1) When I posted the Black Panther minifigures (both variants) and the Killmonger variant -- I said that I was ~99% sure these were official figs (from my trusted initial source). 2) This was independently confirmed by multiple sources (i.e. sources who I trust) -- giving me an even higher level of confidence (call it 99.99%) 3) I backed up my confidence even further when I was able to privately view the leaked pictures of Boxed Sets which have now become public (100% at this point). 4) Now do I feel vindicated that I have been proven right? You're damn right I am. Particularly in the face of those who called out my integrity (not here but elsewhere on social media) -- when I knew full well these were real -- but I had to keep my mouth shut since I had promised not to reveal that I had seen these sets before they became public. So I sat, and waited. 5) So, I think this is where some confusion comes in -- I have made comments about the veracity (and my level of confidence via trusted sources) -- about the BP figs and sets ONLY. Perhaps THELEGOBATMAN has made this confusion -- at least that is what I am thinking. Now -- as for the Ant-Man and Wasp sets -- I have no information about those -- I had reposted a very grainy post of it earlier on my Instagram -- but I had ZERO information about them and NEVER vouched for their authenticity. It has now been made clear to me (from the sources I trust) that this earlier pic of those 2 sets were likely photoshopped and not real. Hence my earlier comment on this thread: In fact, this was a comment I had replied to you, Aegis2000, about any confirmation about the Ant-Man sets that you had mentioned in this very thread earlier. Further, here in this very thread we have another member who acknowledges that I had already confirmed that I believed these were fake: So I'm not sure why you would say that "agoodfella77" is the one vouching for these sets, when I clearly had been questioning the veracity of these sets earlier? That's more than a bit of a head scratcher to me I've got to say out loud here -- but as long as there weren't any negative intentions, no harm, no foul. I hope this sets the record straight. One might ask, why is this a big deal? It's big deal to me because when my reputation or credibility comes into question (which it has recently due to all of the Black Panther speculation all over social media -- particularly Instagram -- where people were calling me a flat out liar) -- that is not cool. I take pride in what I post in public -- whether its a MOC or my view or any other form of contribution. I will absolutely not have my name sullied -- and perhaps that is not the intention at all here -- which is why I am setting the record straight.

Are the 2 Ant-Man and Wasp sets confirmed? I have been hearing conflicting things on this.

Yup. Same pics on my Instagram stream. Link in my signature.

Yeah. Nice idea, poor execution. Besides, they should have given us a proper Cowl anyway. I mean, Hawkman and Flash get cowls but not Black Panther?

Oh! If I don't happen to follow you, it's highly, highly unlikely I would have gotten to it. You may not believe it, but I get random DMs sent to me on a daily basis which I have to purge -- this has gone up exponentially since the BP pics / YouTube video. We know why the mask looks like that now -- the new International poster shows the mask with the eyes showing, see a snapshot of it here

Absolutely. "It's about damn time" in the words of Hope Van Dyne!

Thanks for the kind words. I don't recall the DM, can you send me another one?

If anyone wants to see how the BP fig could have looked like with a proper Cowl and arm and leg print -- I have posted a pic on both Flickr and Instagram.

I can shed a little light here without revealing too much and protecting my own sources. We cannot know the motivations or guidelines behind the source(s) of the original leaks -- but they want to have some modicum control in terms of the flow of information that is hitting the market. A "conspiracy / tin foil hat" take would be that TLG actually encourages, supplies information to trusted sources to create "buzz" in the market, rather than being true "leaks" per se (of course there are the leaks that TLG doesn't sanction / approve which gets shut down quickly). At any rate, I trust Mario's information and sources. If he says he has seen something or has something, I believe him. Whether he has been given the greenlight to release them is another thing entirely. Let's all have a little bit of consideration and gratitude for the information that we are getting. Recall there have been a lot of great providers of information we have enjoyed in the past here at EB, but a lot of them have stopped or gone away. Let's be appreciative of what information we do get as all I am saying.

Good call! Could very well be. Indeed, I can only imagine how inundated he must be as he is the most high profile person on the leak front -- he's been incredibly patient and great. For a very, very small example, I've only been to market with live pics / vids of a couple of figs and I cannot begin to tell you the people who come out of the woodworks hounding you for information -- and a lot of them are incredibly aggressive, rude and extremely presumptuous and entitled -- it's like, "excuse me, who are you and why do I owe you anything?" LOL. It's absolutely mind-boggling how rude and selfish people are -- you provide / share some information and it's never, ever enough. Of course, there are the occasional people who are appreciative (not that this is what is required -- it's nice, but not necessary), but at the least try and be civil and courteous. /end semi-rant. There is a reason why there is a saying "no good deed ever goes unpunished."

This is a really good question -- the open eyes is a bit of a puzzler -- I can only assume that the Cowl has the ability to open its eyes? And yes the lack of leg printing is a HUGE bummer. No probs btw, thanks for the support! This is HUGE news -- I'm so happy that Thanos is a Big Fig instead of brick built. I can also vouch for Mario Power -- he's a very credible source -- and a really good nice guy as well!

My thoughts exactly. I don't know why anyone would assume the IW BP would have full complement of printing. That's not a very strong assumption to make. Btw, I'll be posting the new BP fig with the MoS legs and also a custom cowl -- which should give a much better representation of what the fig should have looked like on my Flickr / Insta

My video review is now up on YouTube. Not sure if I can link it here, just to be safe, check -- check my account links in my Signature! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Thanks for the support! To be honest, the pics don't do the figs real justice -- initially when I saw the figs without inspecting them in hand, all I could focus on was the lack of printing on the headpiece, arms and legs -- but I can tell you that the design and print on them are really well done -- very happy with them. Will be doing a full review on YouTube.

Clear pics of the Black Panther and Killmonger and also the Back Shots on my Instagram. I'll also be posting a YouTube video review of these figs -- check out my Insta or Flickr profile for links.

Haha -- that's great to hear! If they are going to use my design at least they can do it some justice :) I'm also waiting for it. Haha!

I absolutely hate the idea of a brick built Thanos, or even a brick built Infinity Gauntlet. I want a proper Glove piece that can be wielded by normal figs!

Wow. Not that I am complaining but those set descriptions reveal some pretty major spoilers for IW. ?

Some really nice and useful SHIELD pieces here! Def. getting these :)

The 2 new BP figs are on my Instagram account. I've edited them a bit so you can see the colors and underlying designs more clearly. There is printing on the Killmonger mask showing through. Also in the original post for Nakia it was hard to tell but after some editing you can see a Black Panther logo on her belt which is pretty cool. Also it looks like she comes with a new hairpiece which is a very welcome addition as we have and a lack of new hairpieces. Check them out! What do you think?
